A card showing Marie Curie's opened research notebook. Text on right says "Marie Curie, celebrated as the 'mother of modern physics,' passed away from aplastic anemia, an uncommon condition associated with significant exposure to her renowned discoveries, the radioactive elements polonium and radium. Even after more than a century, a significant portion of her personal belongings, such as her clothing, furniture, cookbooks, and laboratory notes, retain their radioactive properties. Her laboratory research notebooks are contaminated with radium 226 and therefore are stored in lead-lined boxes at Bibliotheque National in Paris, France, where they are considered as national and scientific treasure.

Gravity could have transformed into light in the early Universe, new study suggests, but only if space-time behaves in just the right way.

Researchers used the Atacama Cosmology Telescope to create this new map of the dark matter. The orange regions show where there is more mass; purple where there is less or none. The typical features are hundreds of millions of light years across. The whitish band shows where contaminating light from dust in our Milky Way galaxy, measured by the Planck satellite, obscures a deeper view. The new map uses light from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) essentially as a backlight to silhouette all the matter between us and the Big Bang.
